I love seeing talented writers and playwrights get their moneys worth while they’re alive. Art should be celebrated, Art should be rewarded with recognition and cash.

Nobody will behead them. Even if you have the sex in a cathedral in the Vatican city, nobody will behead you.
So if two people were caught having illicit sex in a church people will just look, laugh and pass? 🤔

A lot of these "it's her choice" statements from feminist women stem primarily because women do not want to be questioned for complying to the patriarchy. You who once said you won't change your name, ends up doing so after intense pressure. So to cope you say it's your choice.

October 2025 📍 100+ job rejections after securing my UK Global Talent endorsement. Wondering if starting again from scratch in a new country had been a massive career mistake. October 2026 📍 Nominated for the Women in Tech & AI Community Award at the @WomenTechNet Global Awards 2026. 🥹 A lot can change in a year. When I started I Risked Regret the series, it came from a belief I was trying to live by: I’d rather deal with the consequences of trying than spend years wondering what might have happened if I had. At the time, I had no proof the move would work. Just an endorsement, a plan and a very full rejection inbox. So this nomination feels like one of those moments where life gives you evidence after the decision has already been made. And being recognised for community makes it even more meaningful. Through @TemsiAfrica , we’ve awarded scholarships to 20 women starting and transitioning into tech, and supported many more through mentorship, internships and career development. Our annual tech marketing reports have also helped women in tech marketing understand salary benchmarks, industry standards and what they can use to negotiate better pay and make more informed career decisions. And through Shesthatsunchild, my creator brand, I’ve built a community of 10,000+ women across my platforms, where I share my journey into tech, the decisions that changed my life, the frameworks that have worked for me, and what I’m learning as work continues to evolve with AI, so another woman can see what is possible for her and believe she can build a bigger life too. That has always been the point for me: change my life, then leave enough evidence, access and information behind to help another woman change hers too. Now I need your support. ❤️ Voting works a little differently for this award. A public share of my official nomination page counts as a vote, helping create more visibility for women doing meaningful work across tech and AI. If my work has helped you in any way, or inspired you or you just want to cheer me on, I’d really appreciate your vote. Vote by sharing my nomination page here: womentech.net/nominee/Ore/Ba… A year ago, I was questioning the risk. Today, I’m very glad I took it. 🌞❤️

Nigerian bus games seem to be everywhere this week! I got a flood of messages since as many of you don't know, over the last year, I built a cozy Nigerian bus transportation game called @playekene and a few people asked if my game Ekene is copying anyone or is chasing the trend
